Hello @Judy in Texas,
I am a bit late on parade but I thought that I would post a few alternatives . . .
Imaging & Backup Software:
ThisSoftware
is listed in alphabetical order as opposed to relevance order.
> Acronis True Image - PAID
> AOMEI Backupper Standard Edition - Free Backup Software for Windows - FREE
> Drive SnapShot - Disk Image Backup for Windows and PE. - TRIAL
> EaseUS ToDo Backup - FREE
> FreeFileSync: Open Source File Synchronization & Backup Software - FREE
> Hasleo Backup Suite - FREE [ Newly Released Software - NOT a lot known ]
> Karen's Replicator - Backup Utility - FREE
> Macrium Reflect - FREE Edition - FREE
> NovaBackup - PAID
> O&O DiskImage 15 Professional Edition - PAID - See NOTE: Below
> Paragon Backup & Recovery - FREE
> Second Copy Automatic Backup Software - PAID
> SyncBackFree: Backup and Synchronization Software - FREE
> SyncToy - MS Download Centre - FREE
NOTE: Sometimes FREE > Register FREE full version O&O DiskImage Professional Edition!
NOTE: Personally, I would stay clear of theWindows Built-In Imaging & Backup
option.
It is common knowledge that most of the time you canNOT
trust ANY of the MS built-in Backup or Image facilities because they just doNOT
work. The System Imaging facility is a deprecated feature which isNO
longer being developed or updated [ it used the same executables in every version of W10 ]. EvenMS
say that the built-in System Imaging facility shouldNOT
be used . . .
System Image Backup (SIB) Solution
We recommend that users use full-disk backup solutions from other vendors.

I hope this helps.
Hi all -
Just noticed this.
With all of these solutions...
I wanted to comment that nothing is mentioned about the type, preparation and usage of the Restore Medium.
Obviously it is critical that this be made correctly (and validated) via USB drive, CD-R, etc.
Acronis for example, uses a small Linux based boot medium.
Keep the Restore Medium updated and test after each imaging software release.
